Web Watch: Best Blog Posts and Columns For the Week Ending June 26

By Securities Docket on June 26, 2009, 3:54 pm

Here is the weekly summary for Securities Docket’s Web Watch (”This Week’s Best Blog Posts and Columns”):

  • MARTYN WARWICK, TELECOM TV (June 26, 2009): Ex-Nortel CEO: What? Me? Pay my own legal fees? Don’t you know who I am?
    The former CEO is back-and squealing. He claims that he is “living a nightmare” because the criminal investigation is taking such a long time and he finds himself facing the possibility of having personally to pay his legal bills. Well, “Quelle domage.”
  • RICK BOOKSTABER (June 25, 2009): The 7 Habits of Highly Suspicious Hedge Funds
    Risk managers know to put extra focus on traders who are struggling and, for that matter, on traders who seem to have an eerily hot hand. Here are seven “habits” that an investor should look out for.
  • SEC ACTIONS (June 24, 2009): The “How” and “Who” Of Madoff: New Insights
    Since the Madoff Ponzi scheme scandal emerged, key questions have been “how” and “who.” How did he bilk so many people for so long? Who else knew and helped him?
  • JAKE BERNSTEIN, PROPUBLICA (June 23, 2009): Madoff Client Jeffry Picower Netted $5 Billion—Likely More Than Madoff Himself
    It now appears that the biggest winner in Madoff’s scheme may not have been Madoff at all, but a secretive businessman named Jeffry Picower.
  • DANIEL J. HURSON, HURSON LAW FIRM (June 23, 2009): The New SEC Whistleblower Proposal: Make It Fair, Make It Pay, And They Will Come
    Buried within Pres. Obama’s historic new proposals to oversee and regulate the financial markets is the outline of a provision that garnered no headlines but might well become the most effective new anti-fraud regulation of all: rewarding whistleblowers.
  • THE FCPA BLOG (June 23, 2009): Russian Headwinds Hit Investors
    There’s no doubt that Russia is the modern world’s undisputed red-tape colossus, which impacts foreign investors.
  • EUGENE GOLDMAN, COMPLINET (June 22, 2009): You May Hear from the SEC: The Global Reach of Securities Enforcement
    Investor schemes and market abuses often do not stop at a country’s border. With modern technology, such conduct is often carried out far from the perpetrator’s location. In response, the SEC has developed a sophisticated cooperative mechanism globally.
  • MARY FLOOD, HOUSTON CHRONICLE (June 22, 2009): Case vs. Stanford: ‘A bit of Madoff, a dash of Enron’
    “On the white collar Richter scale of impact, this Stanford case looks a lot lower than Enron…. There are serious allegations here, but if Madoff’s a black swan, Stanford’s a black duckling.”
  • WSJ LAW BLOG (June 22, 2009): The Stanford and Madoff Cases: An Early Comparison
    In comparison, despite its scope, Madoff’s scheme was rather simple, and the Stanford prosecution promises to be much more complex, with attacks on cooperating witnesses and questions about obstruction of justice to flavor the case.
  • THE 10B-5 DAILY (June 22, 2009): The Safe Harbor At Work
    It is worth noting a decision that relies entirely on the safe harbor to dismiss the plaintiffs’ securities fraud claims.
  • THE FCPA BLOG (June 22, 2009): Sir Allen’s FCPA Mystery
    The allegations against Stanford sound exactly like a violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. So why wasn’t Stanford charged under the FCPA? The Justice Department isn’t saying. But a few reasons come to mind.
  • BEN HALLMAN, AMLAW DAILY (June 21, 2009): How Ropes & Gray’s Samuel Buffone Won the Enron Double Jeopardy Supreme Court Decision
    Enron litigation is like an ex-girlfriend whose house we can’t help driving past on our way home from work, even though she is now married with three children and has a restraining order against us. We can’t quite let go.
  • ROBERT GIUFFRA, JR., HARV. LAW SCHOOL FORUM ON CORP. GOV. (June 21, 2009): Dutch Decision has Implications for Global Class Actions
    A mechanism to settle group claims in The Netherlands may influence U.S. courts to place further limits on jurisdiction for foreign plaintiffs, while also providing a way for foreign issuers to effectively settle collective claims outside of the U.S.
  • DAVID MARGOLICK, VANITY FAIR (June 20, 2009): The Madoff Chronicles, Part III: Did the Sons Know?
    The question from everyone connected to Bernie Madoff’s sons is: How could they not have known their father was perpetrating a $65 billion fraud?
